Life is indeed cyclical and so are our days. During a day, we experience several highs and lows. I have tried to start a project for myself, where in I list down at least 5 things/ people/ incidents which made my day a “Happy” day and I’ve decided to call it “The Happyness Project (THP)”. Starting August 2nd, each day I will post a short synopsis of what made me happy that day and let the people behind that moment know that I treasure that moment. So, essentially; it is happyness, gratitude & thankfulness all practiced together. These posts will not be pinned to my blog home page but will be published under the menu “The Happyness Project”.

Today was a busy happy day, because :

1 AM talks with Hetal Bhabhi, who is a dear friend and my lovely sister in law. Thank you, bhabhi for all your words of encouragement. You, bhai & Jiya are so precious to me ❤

Woke up before 6 AM after so many days (I ought to continue this streak now) which gave me adequate time to prep up for the day and thanks to my brother who packed up my lunch boxes as prescribed in my bags (yes – I carry my laptop bag pack & a tiffin bag :P)

Morning study session of Fin. Mgt. #NailingIt

My role with ToastMasters as an Excom member – VP Membership. It has thoroughly kept me on my toes for the past few days for the upcoming membership deadlines and I enjoy every bit of it. Thank you amazing team Excom & Daisy for your unflinching support. Also, thank you Trupti, for introducing me to TM Club here and encouraging me to be a part of it 🙂

Lots of work to keep me super occupied and leaving no much room for worrying thoughts

My lovely friend Jaya is back in town and Jaya, I have missed you so so so much over the last week. There are some talks you can have only with your girl friends. You has been such a pillar of strength and support to me and expressing all my deepest thoughts to you, frees me so much. Special thanks for all your prayers. I love you way too much ❤

Shoppinggggg…. My brother was so glad we could buy everything quickly only from 1 shop else I’d have made him walk with me across so many stores till we find what we like 😛

Since days, I was confused about something. I had a tiny ray of hope and I couldn’t let go of something. But today, I read an article and every word of it pierced my soul so deeply, I finally decide to let go of that hope and be free from the wait and anxiety. I now know, even Silence is an answer. Hesitation is also an answer. Avoidance is an answer. Ignorance is also an answer. And the answer is a LOUD and CLEAR “NO” which I was trying to ignore with false rays of hope since long. I showed the article to Jaya, who also could resonate every word written and we have now agreed to LET IT GO 🙂

Big big thanks to DN & Fred – my blogily friends from UK & The USA who have made my day super special with their love and comments ! I so treasure our interactions 🙂

I officially declare I am in love with this song running on repeat mode on my phone – Jode Rehjo Raaj by Falguni Pathak.

Indeed, Love is not about finding the right person but being the right person.
Reading through your write-up is always refreshing.
Truly, Silence is an answer and hesitation is also an answer.
In as much as it is natural to expect much from others or to extrapolate inferences from people’s words or action, we ought always to listen to our own selves, know what we want or don’t want and equally know what kind of company suits us. That way, we will know what our answers should be and be sure of what not to hesitate about.
Life really is beautiful when we look from the right perspective.
Keep up the good work of sharing gratitude. How i wish your gratitude is contagious; it has got to go viral as the world really needs it.

SMiLes.. Himali once upon a time
after what would be 33 years
of work in Active pay and 19
years of School to go
aLong with that
My Psychiatrist..
after i finally
figured
out
i was
human breaking
down and seeking
help told me Fred.. you
really need to use something
other than adrenaline to keep
you going.. he said use your emotions
and i honestly had never learned about
doing that thinking to myself i missed that class
in life..
so i was
determined
to figure that out..
and finally after responding
to tens of thousands of what poets
write from heARTs in response back
to them as a practice of Life becoming Love..
expressing emotions and moving my life with
emotions rarely ever if ever at all engaging my
flight and fight
response
in fear
to move
me in life
what a Peace
oF LiFe Bes when
one Bes Love through
a Practice of Love Long
enough for 12 Million words
even becoming poetic too..
oh by the way the
Doctor
said
why didn’t
you give up and
quit before the job
almost killed you.. and
i said you don’t give up to live
even when the going gets tough..
now it’s easy as i feel and sense the path of love
over any fear i lived before.. so i would say to you
it is more the being of love than who one loves as Love can
and
will
do
anything
with love
and no doubt
my friend it is those
who enter into arranged
marriages that survive that way..
i would have loved an arranged marriage
when i was young as i couldn’t do a good job
of it on my own.. now i cannot imagine that my
friend for i am grown up free.. people should get
married
when
they are
ready for
it and have the
opportunity to forgo
marriage all together
if they never get ready for it..
true sometime socio-economic situations
and innate propensities don’t allow for that to work..
and that’s
why humans
make rules that
harm and hurt too..
we survive first then thrive when possible
it’s the way of Nature from dARk to LiGht as LiFE..:)

SMiLes my FriEnd
HiMaLi.. While we have
passed through a once
in a Century Solar Eclipse
since the date of this Happyness
Project of yours on the 21st of August
and since you have been away from
Social Media studying for your
CPA our AC went out
we replaced with
a ‘Trane’.. my
smell changed
after losing it for
several months off
and on from a cold where
everything smells and tastes
a sweet and strange way now of which even
stranger my sister and Katrina shared once
the smell of which my sister said reminded
her of Indian Food and that made me think
of you hehe.. anyway.. the Doctor is more
worried about it than me as of course
i’ve been through much worse than
this inconvenience of sensing
the world in smell and
taste and then there
was the 1000 year
Flood and Harvey
in Texas where
that name
means fire then too
Wild Fires in scores
of count and Heat
Waves in California too
and Oregon and of course
as definition of name Warrior
Goddess Irma is surely living
up to her name as a strongest
Hurricane ever in the Atlantic
while a 8.4 Magnitude once in
a Century Earth Quake hits Mexico
and the best news of all is it appears
that we are the only part of Florida that will
be relatively unscathed by the once in a generation
Hurricane Irma later towards 9.11.2017 on Monday
my dear friend.. anyway it all started with a Solar Eclipse
and for what i for one named a “Doomsday Smell” that
actually started on Solar Eclipse day then as strange
and the rest
of the
s88t hit the fan after that
my friEnd oh yeah threats
of Nuclear war in fire and fury
while people around Japan and Guam
and North and South Korea have a biggest
Potential of all of human made and potentially
ignorant foolish human actions.. Karma is real
and surely works in mysterious ways for what we
humans
can and
will assign
psychological
meaning full as sacred
and holy meaning and purpose
too when chaos that is truly the
order of Nature as whole of tapestry masterpiece
painting becomes more evident as Nature is always in control
my friend and Human is but a speck of dArkness when operating away from Love….:)

Love creates my beautiful day in every way and makes it perfect.
Love provides my Light in the darkness of night to project onto my path,
But always the Love I carry in my heart is the rosewood flaming your fiery hearth,
~
Thank you for your friendship Himali, for making any day of my week ending in a ‘y’ a day of wonderment and joy 🙂

My days shine so much brighter,
Taste so much sweeter,
When shared with rosewood Himali.
For nothing could be finer,
Than her wilderness, the Himalaya:
Precious moments within your mystery.
~*~
Thank you for the Love you lovingly share,
Thank you my Lady for just being there,
In a gravatar photograph with dimpled smile,
For an English Knight to gaze upon a while,
Dreaming of a land and my Lady far away,
Her rose of ice-diamond scintillates in the light of day.
A flower more radiant than any I’ll ever see,
Always my Lady, my sweet Rosewood Himali.
~*~

Brightest blessings for a wonderful evening. Take care Himali of the Ice.

As the Sandman whispers ‘Himali’, and leads you far away,
Rest assured your Knight will return again, to pause a while and say,
“I dream when with you my rosewood Love, for in your heart I’m stayed.”
“Lifted to heights unimaginable, where your Angel soars each day.”
~*~

Sending miles of smiles and lines sharing Love, to My Lady Himali, on the wings of a Dove. God Bless.

Hey there, thanks for stopping by. Since blogging is a medium or interaction, I would highly appreciate if you leave me a comment after reading. I shall try and reply to each and every comment. Somehow it is better than simply reading and leaving, don’t you think? :)

~ Behind the words ~

I am a Chartered Accountant by profession. I am a voracious reader and I love to pen down emotions I witness and experience. I believe in the power of expression and love. According to me the pursuit of happiness is a journey and not a destination; it ends with a satisfied smile on your lips and sound sleep at night. I dream to reach out to the world with my words and action.
